At fifty, Brenna Cross moves back to Amethyst Haven looking for peace. Instead, she finds a house that whispers, a mirror that shows things it should not, and a black cat named Satana who has far too much to say.

Sagefield House was supposed to be Brenna’s fresh start. After years of difficult relationships and too much time spent doubting her own instincts, she is ready for quiet, safety, and a life that finally belongs to her.

Then the impossible starts feeling personal.

A child’s red shoe appears in Brenna’s visions. A house fire at the local advocacy center mirrors what she has already seen. Her strange sensitivity begins sharpening into something she can no longer dismiss, and Bastian Pierce, the boy she once loved and the man who has suddenly returned to her life, seems to understand more about Amethyst Haven than he is telling her.

With help from the mysterious Amberwoods and one spectacularly sarcastic talking cat, Brenna discovers that Sagefield House is not simply haunted. It is connected to something older, something that is waking, and to children whose fear and gifts are beginning to draw attention from a darkness that feeds on both.

When a frightened little girl named Lilly needs more than protection from one dangerous moment, Brenna is forced to decide what kind of life she wants to build from everything she has survived.

She came to Amethyst Haven looking for peace.

She may have found her purpose instead.

Home Is Where the Heart Lies is the first book in the Amethyst Haven series, a warm paranormal fantasy about starting over, trusting yourself again, second chances, found family, gentle magic, and the places that somehow know we belong before we do.
